frlejo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 does anyone have a swcd that is dead? i was wondering if the innards could be used for a diy sea swirl, since the gears are driven by the water entering it? i don't know how it is put together, since i have never taken 1 apart. just wondering(scratch)(scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 swcd= switch water current deflector (something like that I'm not right I know) But basically it is an alternating current device. You can have the return or whatever alternate between 2 returns on each side of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowpunk Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 rc had a good thread on DIY seaswirls you may want to check out. I think powering it would be more reliable personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have the return or whatever alternate between 2 returns on each side of the tank. 2 returns, that would be 2 returns, 1 on each side. just clarifying. my swcd working for 2 1\2 years, no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
